Reader comment from the Academy Nicholl fellowships.
"The story is based on a very simple premise that starts the movie’s forward motion. The story itself has a simple plot with a logical starting place, a middle that builds suspense and a predictable end. This script took us on a journey through unfamiliar terrain in the rainforest."
"The script has a distinctive point of view. The premise and story are routine for the genre, but the characters were new to me."
"This script is built around simple characters. The antagonists – Kyarr and his minions – appear to be two dimensional, with no redeeming features even in their own minds."
"The two heroes, Brielle and Pela, sound like L.A. teenagers. They are appealing, however, and I want to know what happens to them. The central character, Brielle, changes over the course of the story from a whiney, privileged child into an admirable leader. The dialogue and tone seem consistent from scene to scene."
"Description and dialogue are used to create suspense and conflict. The conflict between Brielle and Kyarr propels the story forward. They take actions that move the story along. Their actions are in keeping with who they are."
